Architect and Engineer Specification
The system shall be a multiple-driver, full-range portable loudspeaker system with internally-supplied power amplification
and active equalization for multiple operating modes as follows:
The transducer complement shall consist of 32, 2" (51 mm) high-excursion cricket drivers mounted in a curved articulated
array loudspeaker, coupled with a modular 7" x 13" (177 mm x 330 mm) RaceTrack low-frequency driver mounted in a
ported bass enclosure. The loudspeaker array shall be wired in a series/parallel configuration.
The nominal horizontal beamwidth of the loudspeaker shall be 180° and the nominal vertical coverage shall be 0°. The
system’s power stand shall incorporate a ported venting system for the low-frequency driver. The power amplification for
transducers shall be supplied by an integral two-channel onboard amplifier providing 480 W for low-frequency transducers
(Sub1) and 480 W for high-mid array transducers (L1 Pro32).
The onboard digital mixer shall consist of three input channels. Channel 1 and 2 shall provide a combination XLR or 1/4"
TRS connector (mic/instrument/line) with treble, bass equalization, and reverb effects. Phantom power (48 V) shall
be available via a push button to enable and disable. Both channels shall provide selectable equalization presets for
microphone and instruments. Channel 3 shall provide a 1/8" TRS (stereo-summed, line) connector, 1/4" TRS (line) connector.
The same channel shall provide Bluetooth® audio streaming using a high-definition AAC codec with a Bluetooth pairing
button provided. All three channels shall have a dedicated channel mute button. The output connector of the onboard
mixer shall consist of one XLR balanced line-level output connector. The onboard mixer shall provide a ToneMatch RJ-45
connector to receive digital audio and send power via ToneMatch cable for Bose T4S/T8S ToneMatch mixer.
The enclosure of the power stand shall be constructed of high-impact polypropylene. The arrays shall be constructed of
high-impact ABS. The subwoofer shall be constructed of high-impact polypropylene and birch plywood.
The system’s array outer dimensions shall be 83.5" H × 13.8" W × 22.5" D (2120 mm × 351 mm × 573 mm). Its net weight
shall be 28.9 lbs (13.1 kg). The system’s subwoofer dimensions shall be 21.0" H × 10.2" W × 20.8" D (533 mm × 260 mm ×
529 mm). Its net weight shall be 34.1 lbs (15.5 kg).
The loudspeaker shall be the Bose L1 Pro32 + Sub1 portable line array system.
